Default Muscle car tins

With fathers day approaching this years Macs biscuit tins are starting to hit the shelves. Found the large 350g XY GT in Reject shop this morn @$8 and small 125g XY and XW GT in Coles @$3. Theres meant to be a 350g XC Cobra, haven't found that yet, Woolies and Red dot normally get a batch so maybe they'll be there.
Bonus the biccies aren't bad either so thats smoko's taken care of for a while.

Thanks, I'll try some. Haven't seen these before so I googled them, nice.
Good to see a country Victorian, Aussie made and owned company.

I bought a Kenworth one today at Yarrawonga, Vic and looked through all of the display but no XC Cobra.
As you said there are quite a few Holden ones.

The biscuits have a long shelf-life so it's easy to buy them when they are on sale and save them up. They really make an awesome gift.

If anyone's still looking for the XC Cobra I found it in the Reject shop today.
In previous years different retailers got different allocations so they maybe the place to try.

Bad photo, looks better in real life.

Picked this one up from Coles this morn, for $3 you can't go wrong.
It was the last one on the shelf, they go pretty quick so grab them when you see them. Theres another release at christmas so you do get a second chance if you miss them at fathers day.
